In the video the man who questions Starmer mentions a figure of £7500; the cost of educating each child in a state school per year. This is broadly accurate. My research revealed a figure of £7700 a year. There's around 570000 children in private schools Based on this average cost of educating a pupil in a state school, parents paying for private education saves the taxpayer £4.39 billion a year. So whatever the government hopes to raise in VAT on private schools will be eroded by every child ending up in a state school due to the rise in school fees.
There are rules on equal playing fields. Relevant because they were grandfathered in from EU law. So state schools, the competition to private schools now have to pay VAT.
Perhaps it would be fairer to charge foreign students VAT but not UK students. Many public schools are full of Chinese children, paying the same fees as uk children. We should stop funding foreigners.
He represents everything the left are. Spoiled brats that have never earned a single thing born into a socio-economic status they couldn't earn for themselves.
Indeed. The hypocrisy of whining for special treatment under the tax system that we all have to live with. Why should some schools be exempt? If people do not want to pay VAT they should not use the service. Too many people whine and moan play at being professional victims. Every tax-free service means more tax for the rest of us to pay.
The Net Zero insanity has given us the highest energy prices in the world and will result in the destruction of the remains of the little manufacturing jobs we have left. Vote ReformUK.
@@johnallen7807 And you think Reform will do any different... this worship of a party that those opposing the status quo have is astounding. You're in for some disappointment.
If private schools can get children through their GCSEs when state schools can’t just shows that state schools are not good enough, so this doesn’t seem fare to all children
@@janetsymonsIt's a target for state schools to aim for. Sadly many teachers aim for minimum standards, not the highest. Often because they could never reach the highest levels themselves.
I worked in the nhs for years. It ain’t a great job and nurses were diddled out of money when they changed the pay grading system. Everything that could have been done to keep pay lower has been done. Not everything is as it seems. Don’t blame nhs staff because you didn’t get a pay rise.

Every parent does have aspiration for their children so why did Starmers kid have to go in a £18 million penthouse for revision. There isn’t words to describe this man.
I attended a well known Public School, from where I progressed into the military. After serving, I went into business; first in America, then back here in the UK. I was made CEO of the company and, with the support of a brilliant board, established it as a Co-operative Mutual Benefit Society. This meant that everyone owned a piece of the company, excellent for productivity and growth. My children went into private education, as did the children of many of our members. Everyone's children benefitted massively and always appeared to be greatly advanced over their state educated peer group. In those days, as self employed people, a generous tax break was available. Even so, had VaT been applied, very few of us could have afforded our children's education. In my opinion, Starmer's plans are simply focused upon the ultimate destruction of all things traditionally British. Great channel, excellent content, keep up the good work Daniel.
He's destroying Britain on purpose, the elephant in the room is why, education has been dumbed down in the state schools for years, why,? They don't want any clever people in this country, I've a feeling this is part of the plan along with mass migration, something doesn't smell right!
You are categorically correct. This is Exactly what the Trotskies🎯 are Trying To Do - unfortunately. & they have to be gone. Peacefully. People are finished with all of this lark. (& him.) Even here - re this - Stahhlinmer Lies🎯
Especially special needs school, some people have no choice to send their children there but starmer doesn't want them to get a good education. Next he will be scrapping care in the community and bring back asylums.
@@thetruth9210 the number of times we are taxed by the government when we are trying to pay for something, onlyto have that government spend it on the exact same thing is ridiculous. Why tax people for putting their kids into school, only to spend tax payers money putting kids on school? It always confuses me that we start paying income tax at a threshold below and someone could reasonably live off of. Why tax someone and simultaneously put them on benefits?
Seems to have come from the parents. Freebies all the way. What is commonly known as scroungers. He has other dubious things up his sleeve. We have yet to be shown. Peace out 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🍀
To me Starmer seems to come across as a pathological psychopath - lacking empathy and so belligerent that he won’t listen to any other argument than his own. I sincerely hope that his tenure as PM is short and that he gets totally caught out for all the apparent lies and dodgy dealings that he might have done. What is even worse - is his holier than thou attacks on MPs from other parties - when he might even turn out to be even worse than them.
I completely agree although he has already proved himself worse than the previous government in a matter of weeks. It beggars belief that anyone voted for this snake.
As part of my PGCE at Leeds University a trip was made to a local private school. I can remember the deputy head telling us that he had parents who did evening cleaning jobs in order to be able to afford to send their children there.
All the free things that Starmer needs cost nothing; Empathy, sympathy, morals, a kind heart, decency, courage, common sense, a personality, pride in Britain. I could go on and on and on.
He is a human rights lawyer and can only answer questions through that prism. He is not fit to lead a conga line, let alone our country. Well done Labour voters, this is on you.
Well, more like "well done Reform voters". I was probbaly necessary but the real reason why Two-Tier Kier is in No10 is because of that. If you go through the consistuency level voting data and add tory + reform, it would have been a 37 seat majority for the Tories.

Daniel, the school Starmer attended aged 11 became 'Independent' when he was 13. The education authority/department 'PAID HIS FEES' so he could continue his education. He is now stopping parents who work to pay school fees having a choice. These parents already pay tax towards state schools even though they choose independent schools. States schools are already over-subscribed (example, the school I work in is meant for up to 700 children but has just over 900) where are they going to accommodate extra pupils? This is complete and utter nonsense from Starmer. He is a hypocrite, he is stopping children having the same opportunities as he had. 😡😡😡
I didn’t have a high paid job but wasn’t badly off but had to return to work full time to put her through nursery and later a private school but it always irritated the hell out of me that even though I paid for my daughter’s education I still had to pay again in my council tax for state schools
Im all for people sending their kids to private schools but taxes are to help others less fortunate....ive never needed a fire engine does that mean i shouldn't pay for them@susansmiles2242
The tragedy is children in overstretched state schools will suffer when their school has to accommodate: children whose parents can’t afford to pay the VAT children whose private schools have closed because too many parents couldn’t afford the VAT. I don’t have children so I’ve got no skin in this game other than as a tax payer. I don’t believe the tax it will bring in will cover the cost of educating hundreds, if not thousands, of extra children in the state system Utter insanity
@@jeanhopman5659 Well as we've already seen, Starmer didn't and Blair didn't. Brown did, although he never won an election, only got the job because of a back room handshake deal with Tony Blair, and was then voted out at the earliest opportunity, so does he really count? Before that it was Callaghan and Wilson, both of whom had left school before comprehensives even existed. So that's one. Maybe. Hardly "many".
I was fortunate enough to receive a 70% scholarship from a private school that my parents otherwise could never have dreamed of affording. Shame on you Starmer.
I know that we we're just under being able to afford to, but with these changes any overtime I can get won't be enough to cover it. It only affects those who can't afford the hike, Starmer's wealthy friends won't care.
@@macgaming001 can I suggest, if you're straining to afford it then forget private school. Spend time building up your kids interests, teach them all you know, how to be positive and they'll be fine.
I’m a self employed tradesmen and my wife works for a food manufacturer. We send our son to a small private school that is absolutely as far away from Eton and Harrow as could possibly be. This VAT grab feels like an absolute kick in the teeth from Labour. For us, it is going to be a real challenge. We do nothing but contribute to the system and take very little out yet we are being punished and even sneered at by Labour supporters for being “privileged”. It really feels to me that the party is the enemy of those who work hard and strive to be successful.
They want you to be potless and subservient and a good little pleb. They have hundreds of thousands more illegal mouths to feed and clothe and look after. They’ve just signed up to another eight years of immigrant acceptance. edit: so don’t fall out of line, my advice, join the reform party and become a paid up member, change can happen if we are willing to go away from the status quo of a two party state.
@normaty. I wonder who paid for Diane Abbot's son to attend a prestigious private school in London? The unknown father? Such hypocrisy is mind-blowing from these dumbass economic illiterates.
Tony Blair had the benefit of free university education, and imposed tuition fees. Kier Starmer had the benefit of a private education, and is going to impose VAT on them.
@@jhfdhgvnbjm75 if governments didn’t act in opposition to the status quo to any previous stage of their lives literally no law would change….ever. So we wouldn’t need a government because it literally wouldn’t do anything.
7% of kids get sent to private school. 93% are State Education. They can swallow 20% VAT. It's the same nonsense argument about 10 million pensioners losing WFA despite most of them being 9x richer than the 30 something bracket !!!
@@DrunkDelilahBrewery but if they cannot afford to pay the VAT or choose not to, then their children will move into state education which will cost Councils more and where many classes are already oversubscribed. What Labour continually fail to do is look at and understand the big picture.
DrunkDelilahBrewery What nonsense. How do you know the can all swallow the xtra 20% tax? There will be many families for whom this will be unaffordable. Pensioners are on average more wealthy than 30 somethings - quite logical as this represents a lifetime of savings. However they have to live off their savings - they do not have an income. Many pensioners are not wealthy at all. Your claim that most are 9x wealthier is nonsense. The median wealth of a retired household is £489k compared to the median wealth of all households of £302k.
That last lady reflects my situation, full time nurse, TA plus another job, they both have degrees now and doing well, I could not reach private school, just paid for private extra tuition. Me now 75 in rented property and on the bread line, great country this is. I was always proud of my blonde hair and blue eyes, didn’t do me much good did it.
In a previous video, I commented I went to Eton College on an academic scholarship with a bursary/grant and got sponsorships from individuals and companies. I now employ over two thousand people worldwide in my company's, many in the UK. My mother was a cleaner, my dad a factory worker, paying fees was not an option as I had six other siblings. This whole idea that Labour have is wrong on every level. People can succeed without private education, all my siblings have and done extremely well by not attending a private school. Punishing people for their choices if they can choose is just petty and vindictive.
Well done for achieving so much. I fail to understand how the Labour government are unable to identify the benefits of private education. If state schools were as good as private schools for many parents there would be no point in sending their child to a fee paying school.
Petty and vindictive is the left wing. Kier is not left wing, nor is his government, but Labour is barely controlling its civil war with the ultrahardleft side of the party that they need to throw them a bone every now and then to keep them happy.
@@HerbertDuckshort yeah it’s almost as though a person is allowed to think differently in forties to how they did in their teens. It’s called….personal growth.
About 7% went to university when I did. A grant and first year accomodation and food, on campus. However, on the basis that everyone must be equal, according to Blair, it’s now about 80% who qualify for university. All of them, end up with huge debts to pay off if they work in a good job. If they don’t, the taxpayers have forked out for nothing. It was an idiotic plan.
Just been made redundant at independent school. Contract will be terminated at the end of the academic year. I wonder how many teachers will be in the same position and then of course costing money to the general public by having to be on Universal Credit...
Try getting a statement child into one of those special schools. Never any places vacant for special educational needs children. Like being in a loop but computer says NO
Has Anyone asked where Starmer’s son goes to school? Obviously the lad has had a nice quiet place in which to do his revision but most children don’t get the privilege of a £10M penthouse in which to chill & study. This hypocrite & his useless cabinet are the worst thing to happen to this country & that includes Blair, who is now the second worst thing.
@@0ihatetrolls01exam success is not necessarily a measure of intelligence. It can mean you just have the ability the retain information and pass exams. You can be trained to pass exams.
At 5 my son was in state school and was described as remedial, which he certainly was not. The number of children in the class was too many. We put him him a private school with a class of 10. Within 7 months, he had caught up and was at the right level for his age. We certainly were not rich but were happy to do without things, so our son was properly educated. The private school confirmed he was not remefial in the least. The state school had been under educating a bright child and to excuse their inadequacy, they labelled him remedial. That is disgusting.
During his per school assessment from nursery my son was passed as having a reading age of 7 years old. At end of his first year in primary school his assessment had gone down to reading age of 6. His teacher had ignored him to work with the children who couldn't read. We moved him and in six months his reading age was heading to an average age of 9. My son never set foot in a state school again. We are a military family.
That is what they said about my son, and I put him in a small school as well, the teachers are fantastic and they ensure that they not only cater for his education but also his emotions they dont snub him which made his feel listened to and important
When I was a member of the RAF in the 80s my eldest 2 boy's both hit secondary school age whilst I was based in Germany. So as their education wouldn't be disrupted with my moving around . My wife and I made yhe hard decision to send them to a boarding school in Wales ( my wife's country of birth ) the eldest boy passed 11 gcse's 3 A levels and went on to get a Degree in computer engineering. His brother didn't do quite aswell but still did well enough to have never been out of work. Both boy's were given the choice and if at any time they had asked to leave we would have removed them. My Rank was junior Technician not an officer or NCO and yes the RAF helped but it was still a large amount every month out of my pay .
The political class on the labour party have always put barriers up on private education in opposition they complain about it when in power they pull the ladder up to stop ordinary working class children bettering themselves, how dare they, they think sending your snotty child to be in the same schools i send my child the snobbery is palpable unlike the Tories they think they can buy class .
More needs to be made of Starmer and his private school education because he tries to pretend he had a working class up bringing. Maybe the students from wealthy families made him feel small and he didn't fit in which might explain the way he is. Also he clearly learned to accept freebies at a young age. That makes sense too now because I thought it strange that someone who was head of the CPS taking freebies, now I know he has been taking freebies his whole life.
Well said, thank you. I’m a seafarer and my wife’s a hospital doctor. We give up a lot to send our kids to a private school, I just don’t see why we are being punished for taking care of our own children’s education and not asking anything of the state. Makes my blood boil… especially when you see what they spend our money on!
Thank you so much for covering this topic so articulately! The minister for diseducation is refusing to engage with parents, and is simply steamrolling with the same tired discredited “1.5bil for state schools teachers” message.
When I was at school, a long time ago in the time of CSEs, I was at a secondary modern school in London. I sat my physics CSE and was quite taken aback that the paper contained a considerable number of questions on electronics, something we had never touched on in our lessons. I later challenged our science master on this, and his reply was something along the lines of 'the school can not afford to teach this part of the curriculum'. How many state schools now are not teaching the full curriculum because they are poorly funded?
When I sat my A level History in 1976, the years studied over 2 years were for a different period to the exam paper. The teacher had got it wrong. Only one student in our school passed that exam - the son of a history professor
@alidabotes6264 Yup. I left age 16, got ab apprenticeship and went to a technical college. Learned more in 5 years, part time, than I did in 11 years full time in a state school.
I had exactly the same experience in Economics. I was an A+ student who sat a GCSe where only the first 2 questions covered our curriculum. I got the same reply by our idiot head!
There are 3 points I’d like to make: 1. Relatives of mine living in the South East had to send one of their children to a private school because there were no state school places available. 2. As a civil servant who has drafted policy over many years, draft policies must be quality assessed by a range of people with the relevant knowledge to ensure the proposed policy did not create unintended difficulties in other areas. The policy should also be subject to a cost/benefit analysis as well as an impact analysis. My experience is that those at the top of the food chain, particularly the politicians no longer want policy proposals that have been thoroughly vetted and that the proposals can stand scrutiny. It’s all about how quickly something can be done. My 3rd point is the Labour government is filled with a bunch of thick numpties.
This does not make sense? '1. Relatives of mine living in the South East had to send one of their children to a private school because there were no state school places available.' Are you really saying that your 'relatives' would otherwise not have been provided a school place for their child? If that is true, that is surely some sort of error with the LEA? By law - every child is provided a school place - and by law, every parent is obliged to ensure his or her child attends...
Another brilliant video on a very worrying subject. I don’t mean the imposition of VAT, I mean the sheer incompetence of this government! It was a knee-jerk decision without a single moment’s thought! I despair.
I have been a attendance officer for a primary school in a deprived area and to say all parents have aspirations for their children is sadly not true. I had a conversation with a parent and said exactly that same thing and I was given a totally blank look. Too many don't have aspirations for their children so the school has to try to encourage it. We sent our 2 boys to private school at 11 because the local high school was terrible. And we worked very hard and the result is both have excellent degrees and careers. They were the 1st in our families to go to university.
Great video, thanks. PS: my son’s wife was from a poor council estate fractured family who did the same for her (worked loads of jobs, sacrificed everything etc) so she could go to private sixth form as she had been abandoned by her state school. She is now a holder of a masters degree, a happy mum and working in the public sector in a responsible senior role (she’s not 30 yrs old yet) giving back. There are a lot of people in this situation: she wasn’t the only person in her year in a similar situation.
My parents were skint but scrimped and scraped to send me to private school when I was 3 years old, because the state schools in Sheffield were very rough. This was in 1966. My mum was doing her teacher training and my dad was a post-grad student & researcher, and he worked a night job as a croupier in a casino. They wanted to provide me with the best education they could afford, even though they could barely afford to do so.
I worked in two private schools as a teacher. The second was an international school, which catered for children from all over the world whose parents held roving jobs. I doubt those children's particular needs would have been met nearly so well in the state sector. Yes, there was the occasional kid who arrived with bodyguards or who had a famous parent, but I also taught the sons of bus and taxi drivers; and missionaries' and overseas charity workers' children have needs that are best met in the private sector, too. And, yes, both of my schools reached out to the state school kids with bursaries and the sharing of facilities, something that increased over time. It's shameful to limit such facilities to the super-rich.
My brother, won a scholarship at a private school in the 60's. He went on to become a pilot. Had he not won that school scholarship he would not have had that opportunity as our Father was a miner. TtK had a similar opportunity too, but wishes to deny it to others who are much less fortunate than he is.
You pay VAT on toilet paper since it brings added value to your life. Private education brings value to the students life, so they will tax it. Labour will tax everything and everyone.
Don’t forget… If I pay £30,00.00 per year for private education, Ive already paid over £20,000.00 in income tax on the money…. PLUS NI and employers NI
Widowed at 32 I wanted my child to go to private school as I felt unable to give that child the support needed in maths and science. While she was young I was unable to commit to FT work, so worked loads of temp jobs at the same time. I also volunteered for a charity, working at a strategic level for 2 mornings a week. Doing this 'strategic management' as a volunteer resulted in my CV being relevant. As a consequence when I could work FT - I was able to obtain a job which paid well, so I could afford the school fees - but not holidays or fancy cars. Never regretted the decision to go without so my daughter could get a great education.
I went to a private school and we had a Ukrainian in our class and even not in our class there were plenty of other Ukrainians that were there for multiple reasons, some paying, some had it paid for and others were there on scholarships but overall the school was very willing to pay ur tuition if you had a genuine reason or they'd pay certain aspects for you such as the school bus services which for most people were paid add ons while some got it for free for various reasons.
Its the corporate banksters that are running this country into the ground the politicians are their puppets. The last thing you want is a business acting as a goverment.
Keir Starmer went to private school FREE .His school went fully independant when he was in the third year. His local council paid the FULL FEES to not disrupt the children's education.
This utter failure of Labour to see the nonsense of what they are doing sums up their incompetence, but surely it also shows the incompetence of the Civil Service who didnt point out all thes facts. Not only do we need to rid ourselves of incompetant Labour, but most if our Civil S'vants too.
I worked for a small company and the owners sent both sons to a private school. The eldest left school with 5 'O' levels 3 'A' levels and a business degree, if he took his 11 plus every year since he would still be trying to pass it today if he was still alive but gravity did not agree with his ideas of the laws of physics and killed him! He was unemployable but they were his qualifications!
You need to keep in mind that Labour voters are typically people that think that every business is McDonalds never realising that even McDonalds isn't McDonalds as they think of it(most locations are owned and operated as a franchise and not the McDonalds corporation). They are low information voters.
My dad went to Bristol Grammar, and when my sister died he set up a Bursary at the school in her name to help others, a young girl from a disadvantaged background was educated in my sister's name. So they don't just help the advantaged! x
Starmer benefited from a free education due to others paying his fees. It’s almost like this early freeloading had an impact on his behaviour as an adult…
Thank you for clarifying for everyone about Starmer's education at Reigate Grammar. I discovered this in Lord Ashcroft's biography of Starmer, Red Knight. He's always going on about his father working in a factory to underline his supposedly typical working class upbringing. His father actually worked alone in a rented workshop on a farm near Oxted, Surrey, where the family lived in a typical 30s semi, which they were buying on a mortgage. And jolly good luck to them for that. But! here we have the self employed non factory worker , presumably with his own business where occasionally he employed another man to help him, buying his own house in working class stockbroker belt Oxted, Surrey whilst Keir attends an independent ex state grammar but now feepaying independent school, just like all the othet working class families all around the country... A classically proletarian upbringing, I'd say. Theres no problem with any of this of coursf until Starmer starts fantasising about his upbringong and pretending, and lying. About par for the course! I'm not sure he's quite clear himself now!The art of self-deception.

In the video the man who questions Starmer mentions a figure of £7500; the cost of educating each child in a state school per year. This is broadly accurate. My research revealed a figure of £7700 a year.
There's around 570000 children in private schools
Based on this average cost of educating a pupil in a state school, parents paying for private education saves the taxpayer £4.39 billion a year.
So whatever the government hopes to raise in VAT on private schools will be eroded by every child ending up in a state school due to the rise in school fees.

Every parent does have aspiration for their children so why did Starmers kid have to go in a £18 million penthouse for revision. There isn’t words to describe this man.
I’m hard pushed to find a British political party that isn’t rotten to the core. Same morals different rosette.
I attended a well known Public School, from where I progressed into the military. After serving, I went into business; first in America, then back here in the UK. I was made CEO of the company and, with the support of a brilliant board, established it as a Co-operative Mutual Benefit Society. This meant that everyone owned a piece of the company, excellent for productivity and growth. My children went into private education, as did the children of many of our members. Everyone's children benefitted massively and always appeared to be greatly advanced over their state educated peer group. In those days, as self employed people, a generous tax break was available. Even so, had VaT been applied, very few of us could have afforded our children's education.
In my opinion, Starmer's plans are simply focused upon the ultimate destruction of all things traditionally British.
Great channel, excellent content, keep up the good work Daniel.
He's destroying Britain on purpose, the elephant in the room is why, education has been dumbed down in the state schools for years, why,? They don't want any clever people in this country, I've a feeling this is part of the plan along with mass migration, something doesn't smell right!

States schools are already over-subscribed (example, the school I work in is meant for up to 700 children but has just over 900) where are they going to accommodate extra pupils?

The tragedy is children in overstretched state schools will suffer when their school has to accommodate:
children whose parents can’t afford to pay the VAT
children whose private schools have closed because too many parents couldn’t afford the VAT.

Pensioners are on average more wealthy than 30 somethings - quite logical as this represents a lifetime of savings. However they have to live off their savings - they do not have an income. Many pensioners are not wealthy at all. Your claim that most are 9x wealthier is nonsense. The median wealth of a retired household is £489k compared to the median wealth of all households of £302k.

This whole idea that Labour have is wrong on every level. People can succeed without private education, all my siblings have and done extremely well by not attending a private school. Punishing people for their choices if they can choose is just petty and vindictive.

At 5 my son was in state school and was described as remedial, which he certainly was not. The number of children in the class was too many. We put him him a private school with a class of 10. Within 7 months, he had caught up and was at the right level for his age. We certainly were not rich but were happy to do without things, so our son was properly educated. The private school confirmed he was not remefial in the least. The state school had been under educating a bright child and to excuse their inadequacy, they labelled him remedial. That is disgusting.
I had the same experience.
The beat goes on...
During his per school assessment
from nursery my son was passed as having a reading age of 7 years old. At end of his first year in primary school his assessment had gone down to reading age of 6.
His teacher had ignored him to work with the children who couldn't read. We moved him and in six months his reading age was heading to an average age of 9.
My son never set foot in a state school again. We are a military family.
The situation is getting worse in state schools due to the rising number of pupils who don't speak English as their first language. Go figure.
That is what they said about my son, and I put him in a small school as well, the teachers are fantastic and they ensure that they not only cater for his education but also his emotions they dont snub him which made his feel listened to and important

Both boy's were given the choice and if at any time they had asked to leave we would have removed them.

More needs to be made of Starmer and his private school education because he tries to pretend he had a working class up bringing.

When I was at school, a long time ago in the time of CSEs, I was at a secondary modern school in London.

I later challenged our science master on this, and his reply was something along the lines of 'the school can not afford to teach this part of the curriculum'. How many state schools now are not teaching the full curriculum because they are poorly funded?
When I sat my A level History in 1976, the years studied over 2 years were for a different period to the exam paper. The teacher had got it wrong. Only one student in our school passed that exam - the son of a history professor

There are 3 points I’d like to make:
1. Relatives of mine living in the South East had to send one of their children to a private school because there were no state school places available.
2. As a civil servant who has drafted policy over many years, draft policies must be quality assessed by a range of people with the relevant knowledge to ensure the proposed policy did not create unintended difficulties in other areas. The policy should also be subject to a cost/benefit analysis as well as an impact analysis. My experience is that those at the top of the food chain, particularly the politicians no longer want policy proposals that have been thoroughly vetted and that the proposals can stand scrutiny. It’s all about how quickly something can be done.
My 3rd point is the Labour government is filled with a bunch of thick numpties.
This does not make sense? '1. Relatives of mine living in the South East had to send one of their children to a private school because there were no state school places available.' Are you really saying that your 'relatives' would otherwise not have been provided a school place for their child? If that is true, that is surely some sort of error with the LEA? By law - every child is provided a school place - and by law, every parent is obliged to ensure his or her child attends...
Another brilliant video on a very worrying subject. I don’t mean the imposition of VAT, I mean the sheer incompetence of this government! It was a knee-jerk decision without a single moment’s thought! I despair.
I have been a attendance officer for a primary school in a deprived area and to say all parents have aspirations for their children is sadly not true. I had a conversation with a parent and said exactly that same thing and I was given a totally blank look. Too many don't have aspirations for their children so the school has to try to encourage it. We sent our 2 boys to private school at 11 because the local high school was terrible. And we worked very hard and the result is both have excellent degrees and careers. They were the 1st in our families to go to university.
Great video, thanks. PS: my son’s wife was from a poor council estate fractured family who did the same for her (worked loads of jobs, sacrificed everything etc) so she could go to private sixth form as she had been abandoned by her state school. She is now a holder of a masters degree, a happy mum and working in the public sector in a responsible senior role (she’s not 30 yrs old yet) giving back.

My parents were skint but scrimped and scraped to send me to private school when I was 3 years old, because the state schools in Sheffield were very rough. This was in 1966. My mum was doing her teacher training and my dad was a post-grad student & researcher, and he worked a night job as a croupier in a casino. They wanted to provide me with the best education they could afford, even though they could barely afford to do so.
I worked in two private schools as a teacher. The second was an international school, which catered for children from all over the world whose parents held roving jobs. I doubt those children's particular needs would have been met nearly so well in the state sector.
Yes, there was the occasional kid who arrived with bodyguards or who had a famous parent, but I also taught the sons of bus and taxi drivers; and missionaries' and overseas charity workers' children have needs that are best met in the private sector, too.
And, yes, both of my schools reached out to the state school kids with bursaries and the sharing of facilities, something that increased over time. It's shameful to limit such facilities to the super-rich.

He has NO facial expression. That is the giveaway.
Widowed at 32 I wanted my child to go to private school as I felt unable to give that child the support needed in maths and science. While she was young I was unable to commit to FT work, so worked loads of temp jobs at the same time. I also volunteered for a charity, working at a strategic level for 2 mornings a week.
Doing this 'strategic management' as a volunteer resulted in my CV being relevant.
As a consequence when I could work FT - I was able to obtain a job which paid well, so I could afford the school fees - but not holidays or fancy cars.
Never regretted the decision to go without so my daughter could get a great education.
You were amazing!
I went to a private school and we had a Ukrainian in our class and even not in our class there were plenty of other Ukrainians that were there for multiple reasons, some paying, some had it paid for and others were there on scholarships but overall the school was very willing to pay ur tuition if you had a genuine reason or they'd pay certain aspects for you such as the school bus services which for most people were paid add ons while some got it for free for various reasons.

Its the corporate banksters that are running this country into the ground the politicians are their puppets. The last thing you want is a business acting as a goverment.
Tice and Zia?
Totally agree.
Keir Starmer went to private school FREE .His school went fully independant when he was in the third year. His local council paid the FULL FEES to not disrupt the children's education.
I thought 0% VAT is for the essentials. Education and children are not extra nor non essential
Labour’s ideology effectively prevents upwards mobility at every turn (save perhaps, for those choosing political careers).
It would appear Starmer enjoyed freebies to get ahead in life from an early age. His sense of entitlement is incredible.
This utter failure of Labour to see the nonsense of what they are doing sums up their incompetence, but surely it also shows the incompetence of the Civil Service who didnt point out all thes facts. Not only do we need to rid ourselves of incompetant Labour, but most if our Civil S'vants too.
He got a free pass into Downing Street via Rishi Sunak.
I would have sunak back in a heartbeat as opposed to this evil man
If his behaviour is questionable, does this mean his decisions as Prosecutor now comes into question?
Jimmy Savile.
Grooming gangs
I wouldn't trust him as my binman (no offence to any binmen reading this; you do a great job).
@evaflowervines9520Al Fayed
It begs the question, Was he telling the truth?
It’s a national disgrace- worse than the tories.
Will the PM have to pay the extra tax for his own children’s education or will he receive some tax exemption as a member of parliament?
Or tax on his gifts or on his £600,00 earnings last year
Are his children in private schools? If so maybe Ali will pick up the tab, he seems to be paying for everything else.
You have to remember Keir is a lawyer and everyone knows how moral and honest they are.
😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@andrewallen9993. SO IS BLAIR AND HIS WIFE
@@patryan1375 Strange that😬
Politicians think they own the country.
Yet again, he and the others are just feathering their own nests!
Shows how thick Labour MPs, members and voters are. They all thought private schools serve Posh rich people. How narrow minded.
They are all rich ppl who went to Private School
@@Bangtaneu And its not done any of them any good!
I worked for a small company and the owners sent both sons to a private school. The eldest left school with 5 'O' levels 3 'A' levels and a business degree, if he took his 11 plus every year since he would still be trying to pass it today if he was still alive but gravity did not agree with his ideas of the laws of physics and killed him! He was unemployable but they were his qualifications!
And wrong. They never ever think things through
You need to keep in mind that Labour voters are typically people that think that every business is McDonalds never realising that even McDonalds isn't McDonalds as they think of it(most locations are owned and operated as a franchise and not the McDonalds corporation). They are low information voters.
I really hope people don’t forget what this government are doing to our country
My dad went to Bristol Grammar, and when my sister died he set up a Bursary at the school in her name to help others, a young girl from a disadvantaged background was educated in my sister's name. So they don't just help the advantaged! x
❤❤❤!!!
Starmer benefited from a free education due to others paying his fees. It’s almost like this early freeloading had an impact on his behaviour as an adult…
He started freeloading early and has continued it through his life
The guy in the video should be applauded for improving his daughters education, VAT is not charged on paper or blank memory cards
Considering he's been clothed expensively by 'others', look at the state of his trousers. He needs to grow a bit more!
Wouldn’t that be good?!
Thank you for clarifying for everyone about Starmer's education at Reigate Grammar. I discovered this in Lord Ashcroft's biography of Starmer, Red Knight.
He's always going on about his father working in a factory to underline his supposedly typical working class upbringing.
His father actually worked alone in a rented workshop on a farm near Oxted, Surrey, where the family lived in a typical 30s semi, which they were buying on a mortgage. And jolly good luck to them for that.
But! here we have the self employed non factory worker , presumably with his own business where occasionally he employed another man to help him, buying his own house in working class stockbroker belt Oxted, Surrey whilst Keir attends an independent ex state grammar but now feepaying independent school, just like all the othet working class families all around the country...
A classically proletarian upbringing, I'd say.
Theres no problem with any of this of coursf until Starmer starts fantasising about his upbringong and pretending, and lying. About par for the course!
I'm not sure he's quite clear himself now!The art of self-deception.
Now you know why BOE pushed Reeves out after 6 months
She then went HBOS and we all know what happened to that bank.
Well just goes to show he does not want working class to have a private education.
Never thought of it that way!
Exactly. The working class needs to know our place 🤬
Yes, Labour thrives on a state dependent underclass. Social mobility is the enemy of the Labour national socialists.
I understand that Russia has similarly lost interest in further education, presumably because it now wants only uneducated cannon fodder..
its easier to control uneducated hungry people
